Next Sprint: Berlin, May 17-22nd May

Our next PyPy sprint will take place in the crashed c-base space station, Berlin, Germany, Earth, Solar System. This is a fully public sprint: newcomers (from all planets) are welcome. Suggestion of topics (other topics are welcome too):

work on PyPy's JIT generator: we are refactoring parts of the
compiling logic, in ways that may also allow generating better
machine code for loops (people or aliens with knowledge on
compilers and SSA, welcome)

work on the SPy VM, PyPy's Squeak implementation, particularly the
graphics capabilities

work on PyPy's GameBoy emulator, which also needs graphics support

trying some large pure-Python applications or libraries on PyPy and
fixing the resulting bugs. Possibilities are Zope 3, Django and
others.
